Omg, I found it. A British show took on the Dickens/ Anderson saga: m.imdb.com/title/tt9676778/?ref_=m_ttep_ep_ep1 You could probably rent it from TH-cam. It streams on either Hulu or Netflix, I can’t remember which.
Hans is one of those dogs who loves everyone but is convinced that the moment their owners pulls out the nail clippers they’re going to kill them, also he’s terrified of random household items
Im from Denmark, its pretty accepted that Hans was gay, at that time with his fame, he wouldnt have needed game to get an attraktiv woman. Ppl were living in horrible conditions and he was part of the jet set. It just makes more sense he was gay since it wasnt accepted and it would ruin his whole carreer if it came out In his work he was fascinated by beautiful young men (adult) and would invite young men to accompany him on his travels. And his life was mostly one big travel and wanting to get away As with not cleaning after himself, he was very early seen as a genius and the royal family made his life comfortable. Im guessing he didnt have to do much outside writing
Thank you for this insight from Denmark! I wish I had spent more of my research time looking for other accounts with people who knew him first hand or may have traveled with him. Thank you for educating me!
We know for sure that he was in love with both a man and later a woman. He was, in other words, bisexual. He also wrote because he liked it, just all others succesful artists love what they are doing. One more thing, you clearly do not know what it means to be mentally ill (I do, since a close relative to me is that). HC Andersen was certainly not mentally ill nor a disgusting person. He was just an ordinary introvert (which also is the norm here in Scandinavia) who also was an aristic writer. The stories has the tema of unanswered love since that was indeed what he was going through his entire life. That is how art works. You put your own emotions and thoughts in the work. He was on the top of this a part of the romantic genre which focused on emition and imagination in difference to the socialrealists like Dickens and Hugo that focused on realism and social messages. His stories are timeless, like any other story since this is who we are to our natures. Therefore is it not just European to write about things like the classic fairytales but human and you find every corner of the world and the darkness in them are just normal even for kidstories. It is worth to mention that he is not just included in the Danish history of litterature but also is the national poet of Denmark so it not just an ordinary childrens book author that we are dealing with. That's for a good reason since they have high qualities as stories and contain quite much of darkness, sorrow, hope and even some social context, which is exactly what a good story shall contain, something that affects you deeply. Stories like "The ugly duckling" for example, symbolises something little and ugly that grows up to something beautiful. "The emperors new clothes" is a story that makes fun of vanity. It's more disgusting that people can be so turned off by a not very strong social competence and instead can have such strong selfconfidence as Americans
I spent my high school years reading about the Danish philosopher Soren Kiekegaard and there is at least one wacky little incident between them; if memory serves, Kierkegaard wrote an unflattering review of Anderson's fairy tales, but wrote it in a sarcastic tone. Anderson apparently couldn't read sarcasm (maybe because it was in text, or maybe he couldn't pick up on it in general) and was deeply moved by the faux-praise and sent Kierkegaard a signed first edition copy of his next book with a glowing letter thanking Kierkegaard profusely for his kind words. One other fun thing: I think Dickens arranged a speaking tour of the U.S. to have an excuse to leave England and make Anderson go home. I love that tidbit.
Nah he was actually kind of great at understanding a sarcastic tone. When Kierkegaard wrote the bad review Andersen retaliated by writing the Snail and the Rosebush. Which is about a snail who thinks he's the shit and brags to a rosebush. The next year the snail is dead and the rosebush is still beautiful and loved.
i have bad news, if hans christian anderson was alive you could not fit him into a high school locker. he was 6’1 ft, i am less than that, i cannot fit into a high school locker, he would not be able to fit into a locker. i am sorry i had to inform you of this but it’s best to not live in denial of this fact.
Kinda surprised he never found anyone else desperate enough to just go, “You know what? Fuck it. Yeah, I’ll marry you.” cause I’ve definitely been in places mentally where I honest would’ve accepted a proposal from nearly anyone… maybe that just says a lot about me and how much of an outlier I actually am on that… hmm
you should do a video about the gay king of Bavaria who bankrupted the country building castles that looked like ones inspired by Richard Wagnar. I once described it to a friend as being "a homophobic version of The Favourite set in the 1800s".
As a Dane, the ugly duckling is also about his childhood! It’s about a duck whom gets left out by all the other ducks due to him being ugly, and then later (after basically trying to die) becomes a beautiful swan and finally gets accepted. It’s his childhood in a story because he was always called ugly. It’s also the most told story here in Denmark from what I know :)
I hate how every word of this makes me relate harder. A bisexual, desperate and unbearable man who throws tantrums and acts like a child despite growing up poor??
This channel is just an absolute gold mine of content even though it only has 3 videos. I also like how he isn't even just bad by modern standards, he was unbearable even considering the time that he lived. I want to see more of this. SO MUCH MORE
I need a time machine and a lot of money so we can get a movie made about those 5 weeks starring David Spade as Charles Dickens and Chris Farley as Hans Christian Anderson.
"Oh my god I feel so weak, can you come over to my house to spend some time? I'm still recuperating from my accident" "Dude you fell out of bed. That was last year"
on the last podcast on the left episode about being buried alive they mentioned how hans christian anderson wanted an autopsy performed on his body and his heart to be stabbed or some shit bc he was super paranoid about the idea of being buried when he wasnt actually dead siudlvhadslfhadvhvd
To be fair, beds in his time would have been higher for the well to do at least, were often higher than “a few feet”. And - let’s not forget The Princess 👸 and the Pea.
I'm Danish and grew up in Odense, the same city where Andersen is from. Everyone here grow up with those fairytales and learn about him in school, but there's so much of this I didn't know. About the letters he wrote to men, as someone who read and understood some of them, there's no doubt at all that there was some bisexual energy there. Thank you for your video!
I know this is an old video but I couldn’t help myself and did some research about Hans being anti semetic, since I read somewhere he was actually viewed fairly highly by Jewish scholars. So, basically He had close friendship with jewish people and he wrote some pretty pro jewish stuff however he always hoped they would convert to christianity in the end (kinda cringe). He had a strong interest in Jewish culture and the Jewish people, I wouldnt say all of it has completely held up to the time as hans very much was a christian. He tends to kill off his jewish characters for pity and sadness, kinda lining up that jewish existence almost boiled down to suffering. Also one of his storys contains an anti semetic stereotype pretty popular at the time but hes largely sympathetic towards him. Hans also lived his later years with a jewish man and died at his house. He def had some weirdness going on but i think alot of that is a result of his own view of religion that also hurt himself. He had an admiration for jewish people and loved talking with them and surrounding himseld with them its with his potrayals of jewish characters is when we start seeing his religious view come into play. Something to always keep in mind was of course suffering was a huge part in everything he wrote. Tldr: Hans wished the best for jewish people and viewed them with great sympathy but believed christ was the only way to heaven. He also boiled down alot jewish expierences to suffering. He was progressive at the time however now we can look back and criticize his portrayals. I believe the most accurate word for him isn’t anti semetic or pro semetic, but philosemetic! If I got anything wrong please correct me, I’m not an expert, I’m just very hyperfixated on the guy! Sorry if my rambles are a bit disjointed
The Anti Semitism part is extremely mild for its time, in fact that view is very sympathetic and very kind, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and many religions also have those stories of a certain individuals who are born in a religion that they're not happy with and they find comfort, relatability, plus acceptance in this new religion that they found or heard of, Hans also attended a Jewish school in his young life at one point, heck Hans also had a Jewish best friend and was close to his family in his late life, and the family didn't find him unbearable (unlike Dickens) either so that puts things into perspective Despite that, I've always find this man pretty relatable since high school, he's so eccentric that if I can be a friend to him I would 🥴
The moral of his short story The Shadow is "sometimes evil wins and innocent people get executed." I mean, that's true, but it's not something we traditionally tell kids right out.
You should check out the story of James Tiptree Jr. Aka Alice Bradley aka the girl boss who posed as a sci-fi male author and basically trolled with everyone. Also, Anne Perry comes to mind, the killer- turned best selling author who inspired Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures!
there are soviet adaptations of the tin soldier and the snow queen and they follow the text quite closely! which is to say if you want to see the soldier and the ballerina in beautiful melancholic animation style sadly melting away - you can
I love learning about historical figures being whack lol, that being said I’m gonna yap about my own childhood connection to hc Andersen now I’m Swedish, and because of that proximity to Denmark hc Andersen was basically mandatory reading, more or less. There was an anthology cartoon series of his stories that basically always had reruns. On top of those I also had a beautifully illustrated storybook with all his works. Now I must admit there were definitely those stories when I was kinda fed up by the unhappy endings, like the soldier, but I could also appreciate the sadness in his works. I love “the girl with the match sticks” (sry idk the English title) because it is so cruel, like not only is she poor and freezing, she just had to lose both her shoes too?? But it’s so damm beautiful too. (Fun fact I’m crying as I’m writing this hahah) Those themes of unrequited love or things out of reach are very powerful, and in adulthood I still have the storybook, along with the one with the Grimm fairytales, on my shelf. I had mostly heard of his personal life in relation to analyzing how his speculated, basically accepted, queerness shines through in his themes. All these other shenanigans I had no idea off hahah Great video ❤
It really sounds like he had Discouraged form of Borderline Personality Disorder. Demonizing people with emotional dysregulation doesn't help anyone get better. Obviously its too late for him, but trying to understand why people become this way with compassion instead of judgement makes the world a morr healed place, otherwise it literally just adds to the problem.
off topic but PLEASE check out Nika Goltz's illustrations for his stories, they have such a unique, melancholic, almost surrealistic/iconographic, and somewhat unsettling vibe to them, especially the little mermaid ones and the ones for that story about trolls, and I feel like they capture the atmosphere of the tales themselves so perfectly. i had a book illustrated by her as a kid, and i'll never grow tired of recommending her art, it's just so wonderful
I am genuinely so in love with your TH-cam channel and the variety of topics you cover from this to Kitchen Princess to a ghost mongoose. Best content I’ve seen in a while.
He was a daffodincel. Danny Kaye pretty much nailed the basics in the musical, in a musical sort of way. ( Danny Kaye himself was bi- he and his wife had an ‘understanding ‘)
12:00 To be fair, think of what a slob he was reported to be. He probably fell out of bed onto a broken, week old milk jug with a quarter inch of E. Coli marinating at the bottom. Lacerations and infestations.
Me watching this kind of content is straight up just unhinged comedy You are just THAT funny random person that also somewhat same to the friend I have rn(best thing happened🙌🏻) One of the perks of being good at chameleon and masking easily guys haha!
Girl, I watch this video at LEAST once a week and it makes me giggle and keeps my attention EVERY TIME! Thank you for being you and telling the stories you do
Obligatory "hey I'm queer and Danish" comment. I went down the HC Andersen rabbithole a while back after learning just how gay the little mermaid story actually is. Ive read a bunch of his personal letters to his male best friend that were written around the time little mermaid was published. In one of them he tells the guy that he has been writing a story about how he was hurt by him, coincidentally around the time his friend was getting married. In another, he says "I long for you like a sailor longs for a beautiful Carribean woman" which is... pretty weird but you can't really get any more obvious than that. In one of his other letters he goes on a rant about how the love between them isn't like brotherly love but like something out of what I assume is an old danish poem. His letters are all available online but they're all written in old-timey Danish so they're not the easiest thing to read, especially if you're not a native Danish speaker. Another thing I think is importat to point out is that he grew up very poor which might explain some of his fear of being robbed. His childhood house has been preserved to look like it did back when he was alive and you can still visit it in Odense, Denmark.
if ur looking for another dapper history topic may i recommend charles dickens' connection to the lost franklin expedition? you mentioned the play the frozen deep and that's loosely based on the event :)) Also charles managed to convince england that none of the members of the franklin expedition resorted to cannibalism even though they totally did at least a little bit. I really love this channel btw
I don’t want to relate to Hans Christian Andersen screaming in Charles Dicken’s yard after one bad comment... but I do...
no, i get it, he is kinda a mood

The fact that Hans Christian Andersen was just annoying the shit out of Charles Dickens for 5 weeks is the funniest thing ever to me
Hans is one of those dogs who loves everyone but is convinced that the moment their owners pulls out the nail clippers they’re going to kill them, also he’s terrified of random household items

he actually wrote the little mermaid as a love letter to his (male) friend! he was friend-zoned, basically. But def gay!
That’s pretty obvious.
The bi erasure is crazy
Basically Hans Christian Andersen wrote self-insert fanfiction about his depression and low-self esteem

I double dare Disney to try and adapt The Marsh King’s Daughter.
the version of the little soldier I read as a child had the stove burning bit. the soldier and the ballerina melt into a heart or something
Hans was the personification of "a wild ride from start to finish" in some of the worst ways possible.
As a Dane, the ugly duckling is also about his childhood! It’s about a duck whom gets left out by all the other ducks due to him being ugly, and then later (after basically trying to die) becomes a beautiful swan and finally gets accepted.

I'm so happy Jules finally made a video on Gabi Hana!
STOPPPP
Hans clinging desperately to the first guy of similar interest who was nice to him is unfortunately deeply relatable
I hate how every word of this makes me relate harder.
A bisexual, desperate and unbearable man who throws tantrums and acts like a child despite growing up poor??
"As a bisexual with a history of failed relationships, this is how historians are going to talk about me, isn't it?"
*And in that moment, I felt seen*
Remember you got to break your bones when your young and they can fix themselves rather then living to 70 and never recovering from falling out of bed
If I'm ever so downbad that historians call me straight just burn all records of my existence.

His letters are all available online but they're all written in old-timey Danish so they're not the easiest thing to read, especially if you're not a native Danish speaker.
Another thing I think is importat to point out is that he grew up very poor which might explain some of his fear of being robbed. His childhood house has been preserved to look like it did back when he was alive and you can still visit it in Odense, Denmark.
if ur looking for another dapper history topic may i recommend charles dickens' connection to the lost franklin expedition? you mentioned the play the frozen deep and that's loosely based on the event :)) Also charles managed to convince england that none of the members of the franklin expedition resorted to cannibalism even though they totally did at least a little bit. I really love this channel btw
I was friends with Charles once and he was the Dickens!
I've never known the characteristic of being arrogant to depend on being wealthy.

No hacks can ruin his legacy.
